To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS SANDLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore city, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoes, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to shoes and is especially applicable to childrens shoes.

Heretofore it has been difficult to construct a childs shoe that would stand the rough treatment accorded them, as the seam joining the upper with the sole has a tendency to break away.

An object of the invention is to provide a childs shoe that is durable, simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture.

Another object is to provide a means for securing the uppers to the soles that will not break out at the seam under hard and continued usage.

Another object is to provide a peripheral bead that projects above and incloses the seam or seams.

lVith such objects in view, as well as other advantages which may be incident to the use of the improvements, the invention consists in the parts and combinations thereof hereinafter set forth and claimed, with the understanding that the several necessary elements constituting the same may be varied in proportions and arrangement without departing from the nature and scope of the invention.

In order to make the invention mor clearly understood there are shown in the accompanying drawings means for carrying the same into practical effect, Without limiting the improvements, in their useful applications, to the particular constructions which, for the purpose of explanation, have been made the subject of illustration. In the said drawings:-

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a childs shoe constructed in accordance with the in vention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line IIII of Fig. 1.

SHOE.

Patented Nov. 20, 191?.

Application filed May 21, 1917. Serial No. 169,904.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the seam or seams.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the upper, B the outer sole, and C the inner sole. The unfinished surfaces of the soles B and C are secured together face to face in any preferred manner preferably by cement. The edges are turned upwardly and inwardly to form a bead or shoulder 1 and so that the under sole incloses .the upper sole and comes next to the upper. The lower edge of the upper A is laterally stitched to the inturned portion of the soles B and C as at 2, the outer upturned portion of the bead forming a protection for the said stitching against wear. The upper is further secured to the soles B and C by a second seam 3 which passes vertically through the upper and sole members and which provides reinforcement for the outer seam 1. The interior of the shoe is or may be provided with a lining 4 which is preferably incorporated in the seam and secured by the stitches 3.

' In the manufacture of the shoe the upper is secured to the soles by the seam .1 and the lining 4 positioned, while the parts are inside out.

The shoe is then turned and stitched at 2.

By this construction there is formed a peripheral bead or shoulder that projects outwardly and serves to protect the upper at its connection with the sole.

What is claimed is:

1. In a shoe, in combination: an outer sole; an inner sole having an upwardly turned and inwardly down-turned edge, the edge of the outer sole inclosing and having its edge inwardly downturned over and secured to the edge of the inner sole; and an upper stitched to said soles and having an outer portion secured to the down-turned edge of the outer sole.

2. A shoe comprising in combination: an outer sole; an inner sole secured thereto, the edges of said soles being upwardly and inwardly and downwardly turned; and an upper secured to the inturned portion of the said soles by a series of lateral primary downward, and horizontal stitching securstitches, said upper being further secured ing the said downwardly extended edge of 10 to said soles by a series of vertical secondary the sole to the contiguous part of the upper stitches. near the edge of the latter and above the 3. In a shoe, in combination: an upper, bottom part of the sole. and a sole having its outer edge extended In testimony whereof I alfix my signaupward above the lower edge of the upper ture hereto. and outside of the same and thence extended LOUIS SANDLER.

Comes of this patent may be obtained for five cente each, Toy addressing the @ommissioner of Eateries, Washington, D. G.
